The three Golden Core cultivators each took charge of a section, quickly completing their search of the giant tree and the surrounding mountain interior.
The four-armed demon apes were still in a primitive tribal state and did not even possess true Dharma Artifacts. Yet inside the mountain lay a massive formation that covered the entire peak.
Using the spirit mirror on her helmet, Yun Lingyue recorded the formation and stored it in the Divine Mechanism Formation Array core. Once they returned to the sect, she would upload it to the Heavenly Net and request an appraisal from the sect's formation masters.
Finding nothing else of note, Yun Lingyue and the other two set up a blazing flame formation and left behind three Six Yang Flame Bombs.
Once they had left the mountain's interior, the blazing flame formation gathered its fire and ignited the Six Yang Flame Bombs.
Crimson firelight erupted from the opening atop the mountain, shooting thousands of zhang into the sky. The searing heat not only burned every corpse to ash, but also utterly destroyed the giant tree.
The mountain interior did not conduct heat easily, but the burst of extreme temperature in that brief instant had destroyed the mountain's internal structure. Within a year or so, the peak would naturally collapse from within.
Yun Lingyue used her spirit mirror to scan the surrounding area once more. Only after finding no omissions did she lead the team back to the Nine Provinces.
The spirit mirror automatically recorded their route. Using the stellar force of the Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Nine Heavens as reference points, it cross-compared spatial positions through intersecting three-dimensional starforce, ensuring that the positional error remained within centimeters.
Within the Nine Provinces, comparison through the Heavenly Net could reduce the error in recorded spatial positions to
